Our 10 Favorite tips

1. Clean your face morning and night: Start with a gentle cleanser that has good pH for the skin. With clean skin, the rest of your skincare products can work better.
2. Moisturize morning and night: Moisturizing protects your skin's natural barrier and keeps it elastic and resilient.
3. Drink plenty of water: Proper hydration starts from the inside out. Water helps with detoxification and maintaining elasticity.
4. Try a gentle exfoliant: Remove dead cells and leave your skin smoother and more radiant. Don't overdo it, 1-2 times per week is enough.
5. Choose a sheet mask for instant hydration: Perfect solution when you feel your skin is dehydrated or tired.
6. Use face mist: It can "quench" you during the day and give freshness to your face.
7. Get enough sleep: During sleep, skin renews itself. Try to sleep 7-8 hours every night.
8. Be patient: Changes in skin take time. With proper consistency and guidance, you'll see your skin transform.
9. Mesotherapy for improved appearance: Mesotherapy is a method of injecting vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants directly under the skin. It offers rejuvenation, improves elasticity, overall skin texture, and gives you a glowing result.
10. Boost hydration with hyaluronic acid treatment: Treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers offers deep hydration and restores volume in areas where it's been lost, like the cheekbones or lips. It restores firmness and provides a renewed appearance.

Daily Cleansing and Preparation

11. Choose the right cleanser: If you have oily skin, a cleanser with salicylic acid is ideal, while if you have dry skin, prefer one with a creamy composition.
12. Don't skip makeup removal: Try to remove your makeup before sleep so your pores aren't clogged and you avoid irritation.
13. Wash your makeup brushes: Accumulated bacteria and products can cause acne breakouts. Make sure to clean them every week.
14. Don't forget eyelash makeup removal: Proper removal of mascara and eyeliner prevents lash breakage and irritation.
15. Use appropriate cleaning tools: A silicone brush or electric brush can make cleansing more effective.
16. Check expiration dates on cosmetics: It's something we usually forget to look at. Expired products are less effective and can irritate your skin.

Hydration & Skincare Products

17. Find the right moisturizer: For oily skin, an oil-free product is better. For dry skin, prefer creams with hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
18. Use toner: It balances skin pH after cleansing and prepares your skin for the next steps in your routine.
19. Don't forget your lips: Use lip balm with SPF to protect the sensitive lip area from dehydration and solar radiation.
20. Choose products with vitamin C: Vitamin C enhances radiance, helps even out skin tone, and aids collagen production.
21. Use retinol (vitamin A): Vitamin A improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and helps with cellular renewal.
22. Check your product ingredients: Avoid parabens, sulfates, and heavy fragrances. Choose products with neutral, dermatologically tested ingredients.
23. Add hyaluronic acid to your routine: One of the top hydrating ingredients, it "holds" moisture in the skin and gives an immediately more "full" appearance.
24. Choose creams with peptides: Peptides support collagen synthesis and skin firmness.
25. Use eye cream: The area around the eyes is more sensitive and needs extra care.
26. Upgrade your routine with essence: It's a step before serum that offers enhanced hydration and prepares the skin.
27. Use antioxidant serum: Protects from pollution and radiation and makes skin more resilient.
28. Look for ingredients like niacinamide (vitamin B3): Helps regulate oiliness, reduces pores, and improves overall skin appearance.

Exfoliation & Face Masks

29. Use chemical exfoliants: For deeper action, choose exfoliants with AHA (lactic, glycolic acid) or BHA (salicylic acid) depending on your needs.
30. Do face masks: At least once a week, a hydrating or cleansing mask can give immediate radiance results.
31. Clay mask for oily skin: Regulates oiliness, cleanses pores, and leaves skin feeling fresh.

Sun Protection & Environmental Factors

32. Use good sunscreen: Systematic use of sunscreen with SPF 30+ prevents premature aging, discoloration, and wrinkles.
33. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours: Especially if you're outside or exposed to sun for long periods.
34. Watch out for air pollution: Use products with antioxidants and clean your face whenever possible (ideally daily).
35. Try to reduce solarium use: "Artificial" tanning causes aging and increases the risk of skin conditions.
36. Monitor your vitamin D levels: Proper sun exposure (with sunscreen) and supplements help overall skin health.
37. Don't forget after-sun: If you're exposed to too much sun, care for your skin with products that soothe and deeply hydrate.

Diet & Lifestyle

38. Enrich your diet with antioxidants: Vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in vitamins (C, E) protect skin from free radicals.
39. Reduce stress: Stress increases cortisol which can worsen acne and cause irritation. Try relaxing activities like yoga or meditation.
40. Avoid smoking: Smoking affects circulation and makes skin age faster.
41. Prefer foods with omega-3 fatty acids: Foods like salmon, flaxseed, and nuts help keep skin smooth and hydrated.
42. Limit sugar: Excessive sugar consumption can cause glycation, leading to loss of elasticity and premature aging.
43. Add probiotics to your diet: They help with proper gut function, which often affects your face too.
44. Exercise: When you sweat, toxins are removed and blood circulation is enhanced, contributing to natural radiance.
45. Reduce alcohol consumption: Excessive alcohol consumption can cause dehydration and redness.
46. Strengthen your body's defenses: Good health leads to beautiful skin too. Make sure you get all necessary vitamins and trace elements for a good immune system.
47. Practice relaxation techniques: Stress management provides soft and healthy skin.
48. Drink green tea: Rich in antioxidants, it contributes to skin health.
49. Don't "pop" pimples: You cause scars and transfer bacteria to other parts of your face.
50. Regulate hormonal flare-ups: If you notice acne related to hormonal changes, it's good to combine treatments with advice from an endocrinologist. Beautiful skin needs internal balance too.
51. Limit very "difficult" diets: Exhausting diets reduce nutrients your skin needs and lead to dull appearance. Prefer balanced nutrition with fresh, quality ingredients.
52. Reduce salt: Excessive sodium consumption can cause fluid retention, resulting in facial puffiness.
53. Apply the "3-minute method": Within 3 minutes of bathing or showering, apply moisturizing cream or lotion. This way you "lock in" moisture in your skin.
54. Put body oil on damp skin: After bathing, on slightly wet skin, oil "seals" moisture and gives softer skin.
55. Prefer lukewarm water in the shower: Hot water removes natural oils from skin and leaves it dry and irritated. Gentle temperature keeps skin softer.

Body Care

56. Don't forget your neck and décolletage: Care for areas we often neglect - you can use the same skincare products on these areas too.
57. Do regular body exfoliation: Not just on your face, but on your body too, to remove dead cells and achieve more uniform texture.
58. Use hydrating hand masks: Hands are also exposed and often show signs of aging. It's good to keep them hydrated frequently.
59. Prefer body creams with plant oils: Like almond oil or coconut oil, especially if you have dry skin.
60. Use exfoliating gloves: For the body, and you can achieve softer skin in just a few minutes, just don't overdo it to avoid causing irritation.
61. Avoid rough towels on the body: A soft towel that pats the skin instead of rubbing it reduces signs of dryness and irritation.

Specialized Medical and Aesthetic Treatments

62. Get regular professional facials: Proper deep cleansing by professionals can noticeably improve overall skin health and radiance.
63. Hydra for complete rejuvenation: This modern treatment combines cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant protection, all in one. It's an ideal choice if you want excellent radiance and soft skin without irritation.
64. Dermabrasion for skin renewal: Dermabrasion renews skin and offers deep cleansing, improves texture and radiance.
65. Radiance with Glow Up treatment: It's a treatment that offers enhanced facial care and includes cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and masks.
66. Get Botox treatment for expression lines: Botox relaxes facial muscles that create dynamic wrinkles (like on the forehead, between eyebrows). This way, your skin looks more rested and fresh while maintaining its natural characteristics.
67. Get chemical peeling: A chemical peel can improve texture, remove discoloration, and increase brightness.
68. Fractional laser for scars and marks: Fractional laser targets specific areas of skin, stimulates collagen production, and improves skin texture. If you have acne scars or photoaging, it's one of the most effective solutions.
69. Choose radiofrequency (RF) treatment: If you want more targeted tightening, RF treatment enhances collagen production and gives firmer skin.
70. Maintain a balanced routine after each treatment: After Botox or fillers, proper care steps like hydration and using special cosmetics help maintain results for longer periods.

Extra Tips & Healthy Habits

71. Do facial massage: Gentle pressure with fingers or special tools (like jade roller) tones circulation and helps product absorption.
72. Keep your phone clean: Phone screens collect quite a few bacteria. Clean it regularly to avoid transferring them to your face.
73. Maintain a regular routine: Consistency is key. Try to have a complete skincare routine you follow daily.
74. Do lip scrubs frequently: Remove dead cells from lips and they'll look smoother and healthier.
75. Use only clean towels: A wet towel easily harbors bacteria and fungi that can irritate your skin.
76. Avoid heavy foundations if you're prone to acne: Prefer oil-free and non-comedogenic products.
77. Massage your scalp: Improves blood flow and relaxes - something that has positive effects on facial skin too.
78. Do regular skin check-ups: If you notice changes in moles or rashes, make sure to visit a dermatologist.
79. Choose anti-aging products preventively: If you start early, you can delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
80. Keep a skincare diary: You can note which products work well for you and which habits don't have good effects on your skin.
81. Clean glasses frequently: Both sunglasses and prescription glasses, so bacteria won't transfer to your face.
82. Tone your skin with liquid vitamin E: Apply it topically for extra nourishment and hydration.
83. Focus on regulating oiliness: Products with zinc or tea tree oil help balance oiliness.
84. Stay updated on new trends and ingredients: The beauty industry evolves rapidly. With a daily routine, there's often no time to learn trends, so you can consult specialists for anything specialized you need.
85. Buy sample sizes first when trying something new (if available, of course): This way you'll see if it suits your skin without wasting extra money.
86. Add face oils to your routine: Special oils with nutritious ingredients can complement medical treatments for even brighter skin, especially if you have dry or dehydrated skin.
87. Recovery after treatments: After injectable or laser treatments, dedicate some time to gentle activities or rest. Avoid doing intense exercise immediately, so skin heals properly.
88. Give your skin time to "breathe": Have "makeup-free" days where you leave your skin completely clean. This helps pores not get constantly clogged and allows skin to do its natural renewal.
89. Avoid very "tight" hairstyles: Pulled-back ponytails or very tight braids can irritate the forehead area and cause mild inflammation, impacting skin too.
90. Prefer products without synthetic fragrances: Synthetic fragrances are a common source of allergies. If you have sensitive skin, choose products with natural aromatics or even better, fragrance-free.
91. Keep your hair clean: Hair oiliness and styling products can transfer to your forehead and cause pimples. Also, it's good to change your pillowcase regularly.
92. Use cold compresses when you have redness: A simple way for immediate relief from redness and irritation is to apply compresses with cool water or special cooling patches.
93. Apply your products in "layers": In order: cleanser → toner → serum → eye cream → moisturizer → sunscreen. Give some time between each step so you allow each product to work properly.
94. Take care of your other gadgets too: Besides your phone, laptop and headphones should be clean. Your face often touches the screen or headphones, so their hygiene is important.
95. Find your "signature" fragrance or body mist: When you feel beautiful psychologically, your skin usually glows too. A subtle fragrance can give you mood and confidence.
96. Enjoy an aromatic bath once a week: Relaxing in a warm bath with salts or essential oils reduces stress and improves blood flow. This can indirectly affect your skin's appearance too.
97. Add zinc-rich foods to your diet: Like mushrooms, legumes, and shellfish. Zinc helps control oiliness and supports natural skin renewal.
98. Don't forget your ears and neck: When cleansing, moisturizing, or applying sunscreen, don't skip these two areas as they're also exposed to sun and pollution.
99. Choose fabrics that are skin-friendly: For sleep and daily life, cotton and silk let skin "breathe." Avoid synthetic fabrics that retain moisture and may cause irritation.
100. Distinguish your skin's needs according to season: Your skin needs different care in winter (richer creams) than in summer (lighter formulations).
